hoverround / shotgun house & A/C out
kids gunned down / sirens on without a sound
mom avoids your name / streets reflective in the rain
roaches at your feet / packs of green Kools - no receipts
now I forgot to write down any of my good ideas today
now I forgot to write down any of my good ideas today
hoverround / smell of cat piss bugs me out
in your hometown / make ourselves seem so renowned
dishes in the sink / oh really, who gives a shit what I think?

in the most unexpected place / in the margins – on your face
up Ashland to your gate / all imagined lies in wait
unhemmed floor-length dress / leaving the stairs behind you swept
I stay back a single step / windows gradient with breath
how will your night dances lose themselves?
how will you bring a sun to rend the dark?
like planets’ rings
around your flesh – they will
illuminate
in pink light
so now I’m the proud / owner of another ounce
keep your numbers coming down / so nice to have you around again
watch you watch me dress / wait & see what’s left
I stay back a couple steps / want to clearly see your chest go up & down again
(chorus)

another year gone by – wondering why
you’re writing so much less – you’re smoking so much more
choosing to resign
spare the doors - go take a walk outside
lost everything in fire
stay on the right side of desire
ignoring all the signs you swore you required
lost everything in fire
I shuffle around the apartment – analyzing what you meant
assuming what I can – about your intentions
and this thing - you won’t mention
keep composed – or try
on repeat: “the mess you left behind”
(chorus)

people I know / places I go / make me feel tongue-tied
I can see how / people look down / they’re on the inside
here’s where the story ends
people I see / weary of me / showing my good side
I can see how / people look down / I’m on the outside
here’s where the story ends
here’s where the story ends
it’s that little souvenir / of a terrible year/ that makes my eyes feel sore
oh I never should have said / the books that you read / were all I loved you for
it’s that little souvenir / of a terrible year/ that makes me wonder why
it’s the memories of your shed / that make me turn red
surprise surprise surprise
lazy I know / places I go / make me feel so tired
I can see how / people look down / I’m on the outside
here’s where the story ends
here’s where the story ends
it’s that little souvenir / of a terrible year / that makes my eyes feel sore
oh who ever would have thought / the books that you brought / were all I loved you for
the devil in me said / go down to the shed / I know where I belong
but the only thing I ever really wanted to say / was wrong was wrong was wrong
it’s that little souvenir / of a colorful year / which makes me smile inside
so I cynically cynically say/ the world is that way
surprise

wet paw prints on brick / staying in, listen to the heater hiss
& the quiet crepitation / of Tyvek siding outside in the wind
next door, indoor trash fire / burning plastic ends the peace
Aspartame, aluminum & speed / half come-down saying you can’t join the force
what’s that got to do with me?
baby in my arms / rugs on creaky floors
peaches are overused as imagery / bite down into furry flesh
listen to the neighbors scream / & glass breaking
on a Tascam sixteen track / five or six after the fact
change my needles / got that left side back
oh I could be right / or could stay attached
when your boyfriend has no tact / blame the generation gap
one way or another / I’m gonna hear about that

ten percent / comprised of plastic parts
heaven-sent / I’d go wireless in a heartbeat
mothball white / a lesser shade of knowing behind my eyes
lean & light / nothing left now but twice-traced lines
sun refracts / a permeating windshield crack
holy pact / & endless rows of gas flare stacks
I hear you / in static on this side of Blue
I will wade forever through / the minutes waiting on the breath you drew

seven dreams of Irma / since the second funeral
summer summer too too low
to listen to this radio / cooking show
in half-time / half-rim glasses fogging slow
seven dreams of Dolly / focused on a fixed point of light
vision speckled now by birds in flight
the temple’s bright / lane change right
half taking for granted this gift of sight
half gone nowhere / half lost to one mistake
two halves aware of what their bodies can & cannot take
everyone is disappointed / just not at you
point your outrage in the same direction
now you’re family too

Top-notch production and the inclusion of saxophones add so much to this wonderfully spacey record, with some resemblance to Joshua Tree-era U2, but much more shoegazey. You can also hear some beautiful male/female harmonic vocals interspersed throughout,m. Hard to pick just one favorite song, especially when everything flows together so well! Also, the instrumental tracks (Herons, Ducks) are particularly evocative. Overall an incredibly enjoyable listen on frequent rotation.

Anyone homesick for the classic sound of ’90s math rock will fall in love with the jagged guitars & tricky tempos on “LLC.”
